Saturday: Nemesis Island

[sonofmogh.livejournal.com]

It's amazing how different the atmosphere changes once you cross over the causeway to Nemesis island. True, it might be the same temperature and all but just setting foot on the island can give you goosebumps.

And if you meet up with of the residents here you might attacked for no good reason.

Which, sadly, is the slogan of the local tourism board.

Oooh, that struck a chord. A very nice one.

"Just imagine that scene," Victoria said, taking advantage. "Coming home and finding him gasping for breath on the floor. So sad."

"And why would you do that?" Robin asked softly. "There goes all your leverage. You'd lose your hold on him. You barely know me, so why bother trying to fuck with my head?"

"Because it's fun," Victoria said. "And he's cost me enough. He owes me some pain."

"You're sick. But more importantly, you're really, really outmatched," Robin hissed. "Do you really want to test me on this? Because not only am I younger, faster, bigger, likely to be stronger, at least as smart as you with the benefit of being sane, and in possession of better hair -- you haven't met our friends. You mess with Benton, I'm the least of your worries."

"Maybe I'll aim for the front this time," Victoria said and actually mimed shooting a gun. "Does blood stain red?"

And here Robin had foolishly thought she might get by without punching this woman in the face again.

Clearly, she had been wrong, and that was why without even thinking, her right fist was flying straight towards Victoria's eye.

And as soon as it had landed, she was drawing her gun and backing up slowly.

Victoria hit the ground hard, grabbing for her eye and spitting out curse words.

"What if I've already gotten to him?" she shouted, staying still because of the gun. "What if he's already dead? Oh, cry for him. Have fun at the funeral."

Re: The Park

Robin just smiled, backing up and keeping her gun trained on her. "You're so bad at this. He's not dead, or even hurt, or you wouldn't be fucking around with me. Way to show your hand. Stay away from him. Find someone else to play with."

"No," she said and smiled. "I'll...be seeing him later. Much later. He'll come find me. I promise you that."

Robin focused, and fired.

The bullet found ground a couple feet beyond Victoria, but skimmed close enough that she probably felt its passage.

"You want to keep testing if I'm kidding?" she asked archly. "I'm not half as noble as he is. I won't hesitate to kill your sorry ass. Leave him alone. Mess with me all you want, but he's put up with enough of your bullshit for a lifetime."

Victoria startled but recovered to hold her head up. "We'll see. We will see."

"Stay away," she said simply, keeping her gun focused on her and backing up, until she was out of sight.

When she was back on her own island, she made a call (http://just-add-starch.livejournal.com/268.html?thread=4509708#t4509708), before considering her actions and heading off.
